RE: Short Sketch of Ancient Greek History - History You Should Know but Might Not

in #history5 years ago (edited)

Nice recap of some Greek history. If I recall correctly, Alexander was somewhat forced to stop in Northern India due to discontent of his men. Apparently though, they were fascinated by the wandering ascetics, and their indifference. I think a few Greeks remained for some time after Alexander's army left, and there was a trade off of cultures.

Sort:  

Alexander is credited with the "Hellenization" of the Ancient World, spreading Greek culture all over the known world at that time.

Alexander died only because he could not conquer himself.
